To all whom, it may concern:

This invention relates to detergent compounds, and especially thoseparticularly adapted for cleaning window shades and similar fabric, andhas for its object to provide an improved compound of this kind whichwill remove dirt from shades or the like without leaving marks on thearticles.

An advantage of the compound is that it has the form of a powder, andcan be applied dry, and by the use of a brush or cloth it may be rubbedover the surface of the shade or fabric and will pick up and take offthe dirt thereon.

. The compound comprises a mixture of the following ingredients: poweredpumice;

soda ash; silex (or oxid of silica) and fullers earth. These ingredientsare preferably combined in the following proportions: one-third part ofpumice; one-third soda ash; one-sixth silex; and one-sixth fullers"Speei fication of Letters Patent. Patented Sept 161% 1918,

Then it is rubbed with a brushor cloth and tliife dirt will be taken up and can be brushed o Thepumice has by reason of its gritty qualities the function of abradingthe dirt deposits, and the silex has somewhat similar qualities while thsoda ash and fullers earth are believed to assist in the eradication ofgrease spots and the like by absorb- HERMAN J.
